K&N Drop in Filter with no restrictor, 40 non-bleeder pilot jets, 127.5 LARGE ROUND main jets, 3 turns out air screws, and float level at the top of the bowl. That is the ticket for smooth carburetion. I put the large round 127.5 main jets in tonight and it runs fine. So there is a difference between the small and large round jets. Don't use the small ones.

Thanks for the update Ed,     What type of exhaust do you have on the bike?

So, what exhaust are you running,  the elevation above sea level, and the humidity range there?  

I've got the stock exhaust. Elevation 3,500ft. Humidity :dunno: Low. It's Arizona.

I guess I'm finally willing to consider this rejet on my nearly stock bike.

Since I've already got the K&N in-airbox filter and the stock pipe  ( :mrgreen: ) all I need is the jets.  Did you get 2 pair of each, Ed?  If so, would you consider swapping the extras for some cash?

I only got a two pack of the mains, but I got a four pack of the 40 pilots. So I'll tell ya' what Kerry. You are so helpful to everyone on here if you'll PM me with your mailing address I'll send you the 40 pilots for free.

Wow - thanks Ed!

The PM is "away"....

WOW   good deeds do payback

Kerry, I might have a set of 127.5's... I'll check this weekend and get back to you.

Thanks, I appreciate it!

Where exactly would you buy these things?  would they work on a gs500f?

part numbers please and the website.  :mrgreen:

This set up will not work on the 500f!!  The 2001 and newer models have different carbs and require different style jets and pilots.  

You can purchase the jets online or order them through your dealership.

For the 2001 and up you need number 20 jets - different style, your suzuki dealer can order them for you - just a couple bucks each.  The mains are alredy 127.5 stock - but going up one size on the main to 130 sould not hurt a bit.  There is also a mid-main jet - cannot remember stock size, but bumping that one size is also a good idea (this has approximately the same effect as raising the needle with a number 2 washer on the pre-2001 models)

Of course if you are going to pods or an exhaust you need to go up more on the main jet I am at 150 - in my case the mid main does not seem to need changing - of course I raised the needle.

The pilot is a bleed type- it maybe wise for you to take the part with you so that they can see it, feel it, smell it, and sit on it when they order the wrong one.  I'll see if I can find the part number from mine- I actually picked it up from the Yamaha dealer for 7 bucks each.

The mid main starts at a 60 small round slotted mikuni- I've bumped it up to a 65 and have a shim under the needle- but I also have a full exhaust and pod filter.

Even a mild rejet will boost performance- bike warms up faster and typically runs a little smoother and faster.  

PLEASE NOTE: The numbers that I have referenced are for 2001 and newer.

Quote from: KerryThanks, I appreciate it!

Nope, no 127.5's... I have 125's (one size up from stock), 145's, and a set of 40 pilots.  Let me know if you're interested.

Sure, I'll try the 125's.  And if you could throw the extra 40s in, I'll pass them on to richard.  (Seing as how he's the Winter Rider Extraordinaire.... )

Please PM me any details about payment, address, etc.

Kerry: Did you do the rejet?  Did you include the #4 washer on the pilot jet?  How does the bike run?

I've got the same almost-stock setup near sea level in NYC.  Thinking I'll give it a try...

I'm postally inept, so he just received the mains yesterday.

Kerry, please take lots of pictures!  

I wouldn't mind taking pictures, but miket has already done a bang-up job with his Poor Man's Rejetting Pictorial.  See what you think.

I dunno - does the world need yet another page for this mod?  :dunno:
